Larry Bailey (Noonie) was the son of the late Cecil Boyd Bailey and Grace Leavell Bailey. He was born into this union on March 16, 1951 in Keysburg. His spirit left us and his earthly tabernacle on Feb. 19, 2023 when Jesus gave him rest and called him home.
Larry accepted Jesus when he was a child and was baptized into the Keysburg Baptist family under the pastorship of James R. Gardner. Later in life he strayed away but the Lord brought him back and he was added to the church family at New Zion Baptist Church under the pastorship of Harold Carter, where he remained a faithful and dedicated member and served on the usher board until the Lord called him home.
Larry was united in marriage to the late Marilyn Yarbrough on Jan. 28, 1989. Larry was employed at Carpenter Co. in Russellville for several years until he went to work at Hail and Cotton as a lead man until he retired.
He is preceded in death by his sister, Thelma Garrett, and his brothers, James and Charles Bailey. He leaves behind precious memories to be cherished by his son, Kevin Hampton of Russellville; his grandsons: Jeremiah and Isaiah Hampton; his brother: Cecil Bailey of Lexington; his sisters: Patricia Bailey of Clarksville and Kathy Carter of Springfield; his devoted brother-in-law: Harold Carter of Springfield; his sisters-in-law, Mattie Bailey and Nancy Bailey of Russellville; his devoted niece, Kristen Carter of Springfield; his dedicated and loving brother and sister, Marie and Kenneth Sweatt of Russellville; his loving cousin, Ethel Beard of Russellville; his very good friend, Ricky Bellamy; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
